NORA is pleased to have been chosen to host the 2007 Canadian National Retriever Championship, in Iron Bridge, Ontario.
Iron Bridge, located along Hwy 17, one hour east of Sault Ste Marie, ON and 2 hours west of Sudbury, ON, offers over a thousand acres of challenging land and water. Rolling hills and gentle slopes are complimented by water ranging from technical to lily pad covered beaver ponds.
Iron Bridge offers a large variety of accommodations. In the Village proper, there are 5 motels as well as two full service camping facilities. Within a 10 to 15 minute radius, are Housekeeping cottages on scenic lakes.
Compete in the National and stay on to enjoy duck, goose, grouse and bear season. If hunting is not your thing, drop a line in some of the best fishing waters in the north. Pike, pickerel, trout and salmon, are as close as the nearest lake or stream. ATV trips and trails are just down the road. The first touch of colour will appear across the hardwood ridges and you can enjoy nine holes on two top notch golf courses.
NORA welcomes all competitors and their dogs, in Northern Ontario. Come and experience the wonders of the North!
